Welcome back to Helmar

I am lucky enough to be welcomed back to the Helmar Design Team 

You can see all the design teams work on the Blog and see handy tips on ways to use the different adhesives they have

So my first project is a princess carriage album made with mdf (I don’t remember the company I got it from)

I’ve used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive (one of my favourite glues Helmar sells) 

I like using the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive on things like this that have fussy cutting around timber 

It dries fast obviously and for me that’s perfect for me cause I’m impatient lol but it also has a strong hold and you can cut around the edges within minutes of glueing it down 

I used a full patterned paper on the background of the carriage

For the doors I used a plainer pattern that just had a little flower on an edge 

Then added some embellishments including a brooch as the handle for the doors

Along the doors I used some paperclay so it looks like a window sill 

Here you can see the beautiful flower paper on the doors that will eventually have some photos on them or maybe I’ll have some pages in here to add photos too 

I added gold paint instead of the darker pink as it makes it pop so much more

Thank you for visiting and I hope you’ll be back soon xx

The image is part of the Fish Camp Set

Its a lovely set of water coloured sea creatures including this gorgeous turtle 

I used texture paste over the background of the canvas making lots of grooves

Then I used water colours that are in the image to tie it all together

 

I used quote from the Simple Encouragements set 

I added part of a paper clay frame that I had painted gold then rubbed with some Patina Blue wax 

I had some sand and shells which I added to the canvas as well as a couple of little metal sea creature charms

The Stay Magical quote is from the Garden Girls Card Toppers Set
